Philly just issued a ‘stay at home’ order to help curb the spread of coronavirus. Here’s what that means.

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney on Sunday issued a “stay at home” order, joining a growing number of jurisdictions across the country implementing more severe restrictions on social and commercial activity to combat the spread of the coronavirus.

The new restrictions, which take effect 8 a.m. Monday, are the latest escalation in a series of directives by Kenney and Gov. Tom Wolf

---SNIP---

The order states that “all public or private gatherings of any number of people outside of a single household or living unit are prohibited.” That means all sporting events, picnics, outdoor parties — even small social gatherings of a few friends in a park — are now prohibited.

What about midnight basketball? It would be clearly racist to suspend that.

In Baltimore they asked youths to stop shootings to free up healthcare resources. Maybe the Philly youth would be responsive to such requests?

Its OK to steal a car or deal drugs but don't dare go to the park with a couple of friends.

As long as they don’t smoke or drink untaxed sugary drinks they are OK.

I received a letter authorizing me to travel to/from my dialysis clinic if authorities pull me over. I got this last Wednesday in anticipation of a shelter in-place or curfew order. I’m in South Central pa, Dauphin County. (One confirmed case.) The shelter in-place/curfew is anticipated for the entire state. Looks like they will let Philadelphia go first and see how much push back there is. Then it will probably go state-wide. It’s fascists nudging, and nudging a little more. The enforcement of nonessential business shutdown by the Stazi begins at 8 am tomorrow. I figure the people shutdown will happen Monday night or Tuesday.

Probably like their weekends: Bible study, prayer, organizing groups to bring food and bottled water to the elderly , that kind of thing.

Restrictions on travel....

Now we see why confining the over age 60 people would be frightening. Your papers, please....

Young out living it up and passing the disease on so businesses can make profits but elderly really running out of toilet paper, eggs, milk and so on. Cannot be seen outside by police.

Good luck FRiend. Either we are not being told the whole story or this is the biggest hoax in history.

Thanks. I truly believe there is coordination going on between Rat governors. Even NM is getting heavy handed. AZ, right next door, with a Republican governor has a completely different approach, and one that actually facilitates the treatment of the ChiCom Flu.

Regardless, everyone needs to take personal responsibility and personal action to protect themselves from the ChiCom Flu. In addition to that people need to protect their freedoms and liberties. The progressives are coming and they want to control every part of your life. Now and after this virus thing is over. They are having wet dreams over it.

So far, Philadelphia is the only jurisdiction in Pennsylvania to order its residents to stay indoors. Wolf, however, has said the commonwealth is considering a similar approach.

It's definitely coming.

Bet the number of shootings goes up dramatically .... to much chance of “fatal dissing” happening.
